It was correct for my son and wrong for my daughter. I used the Shettle's method to increase our chances of conceiving a son and daughter and got what I wanted both times. It is not 100%, but it is scientifically based and helps to increase the chances of one or the other.

It has a 50/50 chance everytime, but failed on all four of my kids. You stand a better chance for a boy if you have sex after you've ovulated. Male sperm are faster swimmers, but don't live as long. You can try the Shettle's method, just understand there is no guarantee.

It wasn't right for me. It said I was having a boy & it's a girl! The only way to guarantee a specific sex is to do IVF with PGD (pre-implantation genetic diagnosis). When they remove your eggs, they fertilize them and with PGD they test them for genetic abnormalities & the sex. Then you can have a specific sex embryo implanted. BUT, there is no guarantee it will implant. There is about a 24% chance each time you do implantation.

~*Giggles*~ be me??? All I can seem to make are boys, and I tried everything to have a little girl...

I tease my boys, "God knew how much mommy loved boys, that is why he gave her so many to raise"... Hahahaha!!!

Scient is the only thing I didn't try... would need to check your ovulations, and when you have sex... the closer to ovulation is supposed to be more likely to be a boy, and since sperm lives up to 7 days, the male die faster for whatever reason, and more likely if few days before ovulation to be a girl

Which is funny considering I heard women I knew that rarely had sex with their hubbys had girls and those with male did itmore with hubby.. don't think this is anything but "Funny"
